If Putin is defeated in Ukraine or is forced to pull back because of U.S./NATO intervention, then he is finished anyways. Again, it depends on the extent of U.S./NATO intervention, how far they want to escalate.
Dude, that makes no sense!
Does "NATO forces going into Ukraine" constitute "a major attack on Russia itself"? I don't think so, I don't recognize Ukraine as a part of Russia. Never will.
NATO forces going into Ukraine to confront Russian forces is certainly something "short of a major attack on Russia itself". Therefore what you are suggesting is that Biden and NATO is WRONG about how NATO forces going directly to Ukraine (for either confronting Russian forces, or to set up No-Fly-Zone) will trigger WW3.
If you are so confident about yourself being right, as opposed to Biden and major Western leaders being wrong. Should you really direct your anger at Putin and Russia? Shouldn't you direct you anger at the US and NATO for over-hyping the resolve, craziness and determination of Putin? Because according to you, Putin will be "a f--king idiot" for using nukes, when NATO forces is ONLY going into Ukraine and not directly attacking Russia??
You should be more careful with your statements and remarks. It might be fun and cool to be a kamikaze shit-posting troll, but in here, most of what you're earning is derision and laughter. Unless you want to be a comedian, don't do this here.
Global South will be fine; it’ll just be rock n roll vs rock n roll. Oh well, no more rock n roll!
LOL!
So many of these American politicians have zero clue on what they're doing.
Yes it's great for the sort of smaller scale actions in Donbass from 2014-2022 - the sort of action that is short in distance and duration, but not for full scale war. In a full scale war if you use them for deep battle they are liable to outrun their support units.
Also as the ex-PLA commander points out, there are bonafide battle tested BTG, and then there are adhoc put together along similar lines "imitation BTGs", the two are not comparable.
I doubt the US would use tactical nukes in the case of an invasion of the Baltics. They would definitively use them if Russia pushed into, say, Poland though. Russia would never use tactical nukes close to the Russian heartland. Not unless there were massive enemy ground formations there and they had already lost a conventional war and the enemy was inside Russia at that point. The Russians would not use them in Ukraine or the Baltics or Finland either. The Russians would use tactical nukes in Central Europe if they need to though.
Right. A lot of people in the US seem to think this is Iraq 2.0. When Iraq was barely able to manufacture even the simplest military equipment and had no strategic weapons at all.
Why do you think the Obama government worked on the B-61 upgrade program? Officially it was to hit bunkers in Iran and North Korea. But weapons like those always had multiple possible uses.
But I thought the darn Russian Forces are losing? This doesn't make sense if one was led to believe the massive propaganda being spread by the collective west.
But his country would be just fine. Are you really suggesting Putin is such an egomaniac that if he got his hand slapped he'd kill all of his people in a nuclear war?
